Describe at least three pre-reading strategies and learning activities teachers can use to increase early literacy, awareness of sounds and print, and facilitate conversations about books and stories.
In August, 1978, three young women died in a horrific car crash in Elkhart, Indiana. They were riding in a Ford Pinto, a popular subcompact car at the time. The trouble is the car had a defective fuel system design. The defect was known to Ford but it did a risk/benefit analysis to determine if it should pursue changes in the car’s design. Ford decided it was cheaper to pay death claims as a result of the product than to fix the problem.
Do some research on the subject and answer the following questions:
(1) Should a risk/benefit analysis be used in situations where a defect in design or manufacturing could lead to death or serious bodily harm, such as in the Ford Pinto situation?
(2) If you owned your own company, and you were faced with this dilemma, what would you have done? Why?
(3) What do you think car companies learned from this issue?
Please advise which theories and analysis I should use discussed in Chapters 1 and 2 of text book Ethical Obligations Decision Making in Accounting,
Thank you!
1. LIST and briefly DESCRIBE the five basic steps of the Scientific Method.
2. IDENTIFY a group that you find repugnant (for example, a White supremacist group, a satanic cult, or a group of convicted rapists). If you received departmental funding and were required to study the group, what methods could you use to remain objective during your research?
DEFINE ethnography. SELECT a group that you would be interested in observing. Why are you interested in observing the particular group and what sociological question would you seek to answer through your observation?
A 22 kg solid door is 220 cm tall, 90 cm wide.
What is the door’s moment of inertia for rotation on its hinges?
What is the door’s moment of inertia for rotation about a vertical axis inside the door, 17 cm from one edge?
A big-brand-name dishwasher, which costs $800.00, has a 20% chance of needing to be replaced in the first 2 years of purchase. A two-year extended warranty costs $112.10 on a dishwasher. What is the expected value of the extended warranty assuming it is replaced in the first 2 years?
B2. Duration hedging A company agreed many years ago to pay pensions to its workers. Many of these workers are now reaching retirement. The company estimates that it will need to make aggregate pension payments amounting to exactly 1.5m GBP at the end of this year and at the end of next year. Currently, the spot rates at all maturities are equal to 4% (with continuous compounding).
a. Calculate the present value of the pension liabilities.
b. The company has access to a 3-year bond that pays a coupon of 5.5% at the end of every year. i. Define the concept of (modified) duration. ii. Calculate the (modified) duration of the bond (with respect to the continuous-compounded yield to maturity). [11 marks]
c. The company would like to buy an amount of the bond, such that the combined present value of the liability from the financial product and the position in the bond does not change for small parallel shifts in the spot curve. Calculate the position that the company would have to take in the bond. Explain any approximations that you need to make. In your opinion, how well is this hedge likely to perform in practice? [12 marks]
d. Check how the portfolio that you have set up in part c) performs in two scenarios:
i. In a scenario in which the spot rates with maturities of 1, 2, and 3 years decrease by 10bp.
ii. In a scenario in which spot rates with maturities of 1 and 2 years decrease by 10bp, but the spot rate with a maturity of 3 years increases by 10bp. [12 marks]
MMP Incorporated generated FCF in the most recently completed year of $700,000. We expect FCF to grow by 10% in year 1, 8% in year 2 and 7% in year three. Beginning in year four, FCF will begin to grow at a constant rate of 6%. The required rate of return on this investment is 12%. MMP has debt of $2,000,000, preferred stock of $1,000,000 and 400,000 shares of common stock outstanding. What is each share of common worth today?
1.A director of a childcare center is interested in whether there is a tendency for fathers and mothers to be differentially involved in the care of their child depending on the gender of that child. She collects data on which parent drops off a child and the gender of that child. Her center has very few children, so her data are limited. What statistical test could she use to analyze these data? paired-samples t test chi-square test for independence correlation chi-square test for goodness-of-fit
2.A correlation of 0.56 is found between class rank and student likability. What can we conclude based on this correlation? Good grades cause increases in popularity. Class rank is predictive of academic performance. Low class ranks tend to be associated with low likability ranks, and high class ranks tend to be associated with high ranks for likability. High likability is associated with low class rank.
3.For a chi-square test, it is typically recommended that the minimum number of participants is: 4. 12. five times the number of cells. three times the number of cells.
4.When you have one nominal variable, the appropriate statistical test to use is a chi-square test for: goodness-of-fit. independence. empowerment. association.
So I’ve been trying to figure this one out for a while and I’m hitting a wall:
1. You have a class A address space that has an IP address of 124.0.0.0.
a. What is the subnet mask? ________________________
b. You would like to set up 100 subnets. How would you represent that using the / notation (CIDR)? _____________________________
c. What are the address ranges (full range) of the last two subnets (remember that you only have 100 subnets)?
d. ________________________________________
e. ________________________________________
f. How many workstations can you have for each of the 100 subnets? ________________
